Bengaluru : Kannada movie actor and Pro Kannada activist Chetan Kumar, also called Chetan Kumar Ahimsa, has been captured in the midst of the continuous hijab column in Karnataka supposedly for his offensive tweet against a high court judge who is hearing the hijab case. “Kannada film entertainer and dissident Chetan Ahimsa has been captured by Bengaluru City Police. An on-its-own FIR was enrolled on Tuesday and under 505(2) and 504 of the IPC. In light of the tweet, the FIR was enlisted in Sheshadripuram Police Station,” MN Anucheth, the Deputy Commissioner of Police of Central Division said.
The tweet in question is a retweet of his own old tweet about Justice Krishna Dixit regarding a rape case. The old tweet of the actor posted on June 27, 2020 said, “This week KA (Karnataka) High Court Justice Krishna Dixit granted (granted) pre-arrest bail to rape-accused Rakesh B claiming ‘it is unbecoming of indian woman to sleep after rape; that is not way women react when they are ravished.’ What’s ‘unbecoming’ is 21st c (century) misogyny of this judiciary Dixit fossil.”
